I would absolutely and highly recommend Canine Campus! I have had great success with my pug and…read moreshe is a lot more well-behaved than she used to be and knows so many more basic commands. She still has issues to work on but obviously, training is a life-time process. I would really recommend taking more than one course as consistency is key with any dog-training. Lucinda, the owner, is extremely professional and gives very very useful, responsible, and practical tips to dog owners. She is extremely qualified and good at what she does. She has both EXPERIENCE (over 25 years of experience in dog training!) and EDUCATION (currently completing a Masters degree in animal behaviour) so she really knows her stuff! Training is also pretty much her full time job so she's 100% committed to making your pooch become your best friend! Lucinda offers both group classes and private and/or at-home consultations.

Came to Canine Campus after having a bad experience with a home run dog training business…read more Communication was good, the classes were great. We liked it a lot more when Lucinda herself was running the classes, as we can feel she knows her way with dogs. Lucinda was professional throughout, couldn't really ask for any different. Group activity was great, classes were always filled, which allowed our dog to socialize with other dogs.

When we first got Oreo, we weren't too sure where to take him for his puppy classes. We were…read moreextremely lucky to have found Dog Village on a random search within our area. Inise is a fantastic dog trainer who taught us so much about dog behaviours and how to make us a better pet owner. When you first walk into the place and see all the dogs that are there regularly, you maybe overwhelmed and underwhelmed at the same time. It's very low key and fun for the four legged friends but, there are also discipline and rules for all. It is such a great environment for us as dog owners and our pets to learn and socialize. If you're unsure, Inise and her team will guide you to the best of their ability. It is very important to socialize your dogs. Be a responsible pet owner and take them there for puppy classes, obedience classes, and social Sunday!

Terrible! I usually go to PetsMart but no appointments so I took my pup to get a nail trim here…read more One: this place stinks soo bad Two: they tried to trim his nails at the waiting area outside!! OUTSIDE three: they muzzled my 13 lb 1 1/2 years old pup WHICH THAT WOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED IN OTHER PLACES four: they got frustrated and grab my pup and took him to the back to handle business five: I heard my pup squealing and end up with a bloody quick. It's terrible! If you love your dog, do go!! I legit saw a dog running away from 5 other dogs trying to bite him but the groomers/ trainers did nothing.

I was very impressed with her training skills in first visit to my home. After 1 week with Sho we could really see the difference. Diesel (my Boxer) trained in house with Sho for three weeks, the transformation was amazing!!! I'm so proud of my Boxer, when I take him on walks or go to the park or even the pet store, people compliment we on how well he behaves, I can interact with people and not have to worry about his behaviour. Thank you Sho!!!

Doesn't really work-my puppy actually became fearful of water and more aggressive about four or…read morefive days after the at home training. It took us a while for him to stop being fearful of water after that... The girl was nice enough... I just don't agree with the training, especially if you have a headstrong & highly intelligent German Shepherd puppy! ended up having to take him to a board and train and he came back a completely different and well behaved puppy!

Without Bark Busters my littermate pups would have been running the house. They didn't listen, were…read moredestructive, and basically acted as their own pack and had no regard for us. (We've had previous dogs of the same breed and never encountered this.) Through Bark Busters we were able to gain control with consistency and expectations, never resorting to bribes or harshness. The trainer is available to help when needed (one has needed a lot of leash guidance over the years) so we don't have to seek out a new trainer every time an issue crops up.

We were desparate for help with our Maine Coon's matting before a long trip recently and Rachel took care of the problem completely and then spent extra time with me to show me a few tricks between visits.

They separate the puppies and the adults depending on their age. Overall, we (including our dog) are extremely happy with DogeDen! Prices are a bit expensive if you only send your dog there once. Best to buy a package (we bought the 20-day package).

We sent our 6month pup for trial session before we could decide on this place. Overall impression -…read morenot very professionally run place, extremely dirty, my dog was reeking of some bad odour in only 3 hours and full of dirt but the lady who received us spoke as if this was the only dog day care in town and everyone is lining up to have their dogs sent there! They don't provide tours of facilities so you have no idea where/what you are sending your pets into! No photos or videos put up anywhere about the facilities/amenities inside. No time taken for any sort of assessment to understand the temperament of our dog. The lady asked us if our dog will jump the fence, (I wish I knew, the dog cnt speak to tell me!) I said she has never tried and she said, I quote, "if she as much even looks at the fence, she will not be allowed in the yard again", so they plan to cage her all day if she does try to look at her surroundings! They just want full trained dogs to be left free in groups of 10 to play so easy job for them! All dogs are not same and most of them take time to adjust. They were too quick to judge in meeting my dog for the first time saying that she was nervous (obviously it was her first time there with new ppl and so many dogs!). Thankful this all happened on the trial class, never going back again!

Not a great place. For one, it is not at all clean. From the moment you walk in, there is either…read morean overwhelming smell of urine, or bleach mixed with urine. Whether you leave your pet there for one day at daycare or for boarding, they will be returned to you reeking of urine, and gritty with dirt. Dirt I can deal with. Urine, no way. You will not want to touch your dog after a stay here. I know some dogs like to roll around in all sorts of things, but I had more than one dog here (one of which did not like to roll around) and they both reeked upon pickup. I also knew 3 other pet owners who had similar experiences. I chalked it up originally to standard "kennel smell" but have since taken my dogs to several other "free play" kennels and non-free play kennels-- they've never smelled the way they did at Ajax. The worst thing though-- my dog was seriously injured while in the care of the Ajax Pet Centre. I was told my dog was in a fight with another dog, and had started the fight. However, both the vet and the surgeon who cared for my dog advised that the wounds inflicted indicate my dog was in a defensive position (bitten on the inside of the rear leg). The other clue that my dog was not the aggressor was that there was no bleeding or inflammation around his mouth or gums, indicating that my dog had not bitten anything. These two observations were made independently by both the vet and the surgeon. Unlike other petcare centres, Ajax does not provide "doggy-cams" for you to observe your dogs, or to witness the care they receive. I'd think twice before taking your four-legged friends here.
